The Sun in the 2nd House signifies revolution around possessions, knowledge, and creativity. What the native collects holds significant importance for their personality. Personal property, what they can hold closely, is significant; ownership is how they express their individual personality.

These natives personally identify with their memories, father’s possessions, and knowledge. They share often, being very vocal natives, especially if Mercury occupies the 2nd as well. They are storytellers, and they may even be multilingual.

A fortunate Sun occupying the 2nd House will be strong-willed and outspoken. Their father’s opinion is highly valued, or his opinions greatly affect the native. Wealth is possible; having many possessions is possible. If anything, the native will have a diverse and “rich” personality.

A weaker Sun creates poverty, selfishness, and unworthy feelings in the native. They will exhibit lack of self confidence and worth, constantly “proving themselves” to others. Their father will overshadow them or attempt to “seem better” than his child. He may exert lack of confidence because he doesn't own anything.

Overall, the Sun in the 2nd House exerts intelligence and knowledge, and they express themselves with pride and joy for their possessions. Creativity shows through what they own, including accessories, clothing, antiques or furniture, etcetera. Knowledge is expressed in Mercury and through fortunate placements. Fortune indicates a rich lifestyle or personality; misfortune leads to overcompensation. The Sun in the 2nd House revolves around these things.
